With this 'toon, the cartoonist aptly comments, "Our own efforts to 'do our own thing', rather than what God has commanded us to do, will keep us from receiving the good things that God has for us" (Ref).

I don't think it can be said any better. Have a great week all and God bless!

But, could the beaver have done anything BUT build the dam? What do Einstein, John Calvin and many Jewish and Christian philosophers say? They are all of the opinion that the beaver was predestined to build the dam from birth. This pesky debate on Free Will vs. Predestination (perhaps I shouldn't say vs, because some believe that they aren't mutually exclusive) keeps popping up doesn't it. Hang on Jason, I never did get your opinion on the subject, do you believe that God knows from the day we're born whether we will go to heaven or hell?

God knows all.

One thing I would like to point out though is that knowing the future does not take away 'choice' from the individual.
